Installation and Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 6.x
1-8
SSO software integrations require proper configuration of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web
Conferencing systems through the Admin pages. If your SSO software integration requires a change
in the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing product source code, your SSO integration
becomes an SSO customization, and we do not support customizations by either customers or any
other parties.
CPE customers who want to integrate SSO packages can contact Cisco Managed Services to obtain
a Service Request to implement SSO. This service is offered as a convenience and does not change
the scope of the SSO integration: this service is an integration and configuration of the Cisco Unified
MeetingPlace Web Conferencing product, not a customization of the product code.
Customers must first implement SSO software integrations on test or lab servers and verify that the
integrated systems work, including Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing features and
operations.
Customers are responsible for ensuring stability of integrated Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web
Conferencing-SSO systems, including communicating with SSO software vendors for the following
reasons:
To obtain necessary fixes and support
–
To troubleshoot functional problems and technical problems, including crashes triggered by the
–
SSO package
SSO software often includes a web-server extension, called the IIS ISAPI extension or filter. Cisco
Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing installs and uses four IIS extensions. Any incompatibility
between an SSO software extension and the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing
extensions can make IIS non-functional or unstable. Any crash of the SSO IIS extension can cause
IIS to crash and can generate a full Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing outage, resulting
in a full system reboot, ending of in-progress meetings, and disconnecting of web-conferencing
users. Any memory leak in the SSO package or module can make IIS or the whole server unstable,
as well.
Although SSO software integration is productized for the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web
Conferencing system, any changes in overall configuration, including Cisco Unified MeetingPlace
Web Conferencing upgrades and SSO package upgrades, can potentially break integrated Cisco
Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing-SSO systems.
Customers must inform Cisco TAC that their Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing servers
have third-party SSO packages installed and configured with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web
Conferencing when opening a service request for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing,
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Microsoft Outlook, or Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Lotus Notes.
Customers must be able to provide SSO integration details upon request. Inability to provide details
can result in Cisco TAC not being able to proceed with service requests.
If a service request is about troubleshooting the SSO integration, Cisco TAC can review the logs and
identify if the problem is on the SSO side or the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing
side. If the problem is on the SSO side, information will be provided to customers, so they can
further troubleshoot with their SSO vendors.
If the service request is about troubleshooting a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing
problem that does not seem to be connected to the SSO integration, Cisco TAC will proceed per the
normal support process. If TAC discovers that the SSO integration plays a role in the problem,
information will be provided to customers, so they can further troubleshoot with their SSO vendors.
